How to Install an Encoder！

After selecting the appropriate motor, it is important to know how to properly install it. The installation of each encoder is dependent upon its mounting or base option. If an encoder is to be mounted to a motor shaft, then a centering tool can be used to align the hole of the encoder to the shaft. The different mounting options have varying functionalities. An R-option allows for a +/- 15 degree play of motion in which the encoder can rotate back and forth. A T-Option however, uses adhesive to stick to the back of a motor.
